Can't even wrap my head around this

[junch817]

I know she's not the first or the last to do this, but seeing that she is pretty much as far along as me/us, it's extra mind blowing to me. Yesterday I nearly went into labor after a trip to the grocery store....

It hurts me to think about this and I've even done my share of distance running.

[jcprn]

Uh I walked like a huffy-puffy mile and a half today...

[islandgirl14]

Come on... really??? I walked across the mall last night... I was impressed with that feat alone, and even that brings on the major Braxton hicks!

[belle0720]

No thanks. My H and I walk 20-30 several days/week, I take the stairs up to the 4th floor twice a day, and I do hand weights/some workout videos a few days/week---that's the extent of it for me. No chance you'll find me running or even training for a marathon right now!

[Widget123]

billyhorrible you could totally handle this right?

[bruunk]

Dang -- that's beyond impressive. A coworker was shocked and said "She should be stopped - that could do damage!" She looks pretty damn good to me.

I can't even carry the laundry up or down the stairs anymore.

[baytosa2013]

Wow that is amazing! Makes me sad that I stopped running early on because I was just so uncomfortable. Kudos to her for being able to complete the marathon and her "slow" pace was better than my PR in a half HA!

[noeliav]

That's awesome! Good for her
(and I'm totally jealous. I'm breathing heavily just on my trips to the bathroom.)

Dude I couldn't run 26.2 miles even un-pregnant!


One of my friends ran Boston at 20 weeks though...and still came in under 5 hours!

[tiffbot]

I think that's awesome and good on her because I have to talk myself up to sweep the floor lately!

One of my good friends just ran a marathon in January at 23weeksish. Amazing people!

[ajm11]

Lol.

I can't even carry a laundry basket upstairs without panting.

[sully326]

Just reading that gave me BH & back pain.

[teenybird]

Scary, but impressive. I winded myself trying to pull pants on this morning, and I'm only 32 weeks. I can't imagine running a full marathon like this...yikes!


*edited for spelling fail

[erbear]

Yeah I can't imagine doing that non pregnant yet alone pregnant!

[mcp6286]

Wow. I'm lucky they haven't had to peel me off the floor at Target yet. Major props to this lady!

[cnumbers]

Wow!. I'm 34 weeks tomorrow and I couldn't do that!

[sugarkissed]

No… just, no way. I'm pretty proud of myself for still running short distances, super slow… but come on, a marathon?!

[carolyngrace]

holy shit, no.

[Girlymama79]

Nope nope nope. I wait til DH can go grocery shopping for me.

[leenziepops]

What a champ! I can barely jog now without wanting to pee. Not to mention I couldn't do this pre-PG. My maximum is 15km. Good on her though!

This post hurts my pelvic bone just thinking about it. In so much pain just walking around . I can't imagine!

[lalamomma]

I went shopping yesterday and had Braxton Hicks the car ride home. Never had them with DD. I will never run a marathon, the very idea pregnant or not sounds awful to me. I hate distance running.

[shinytoys]

Way to go to her. I've run a half marathon while pregnant, not as far as long as her, so I think someone who truly trains can do this.
